Producer Information
Château Brane-Cantenac is a well-regarded wine estate based in the Margaux appellation, in the Haut-Médoc region just north of Bordeaux city. The estate was ranked a second growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves and regularly receives praise for its eponymously titled "grand vin". It is owned by Société Viticole Henri Lurton and although overseen by Henrui Lurton since 1992, the estate has been in the Lurton family for four generations.The estate lies in the southern central region of the Margaux-Cantenac commune, just south of Château Cantenac-Brown and due west of the likes of Kirwan and Boyd-Cantenac. Dating back to the 17th Century, the estate was purchased after the French Revolution by Baron Jacques-Maxime de Brane, who gave it his name.Through several changes in ownership the estate became the residence of Lucien Lurton in the 1950s and has been in the Lurton family â a high-profile winemaking dynasty in Bordeaux â ever since. It is currently overseen by Henri Lurton.The vineyards are planted atop sandy, gravel-based soils interspersed with large pebbles. These pebbles hold onto warmth from the sun, and the gravel in the soils allows for excellent water drainage around the vines.
